Various enquiries have been received by the Food Production Department with regard to the feeding of acorns to stock and some actual Infor- experiences have also been reported . mation has been supplied , for example , by a well - known Norfolk landowner , who has been feeding acorns to 26 of his agricultural horses For successfully during the last six weeks . the first two weeks the ration consisted of 3 stones of acorns , I stone maize , and 2 stones Then , owing to bran per horse per week . the shortage of maize , 2.stones of palm ker- nel cake were substituted for the maize ration . During the winter it is proposed to replace the palm kernel cake by I stone of ground nut cake and I stone fish meal .. writer comments : " This may be considered by many to be an inadequate food , yet our horses are making full days and working hard , ploughing , and dragging timber , etc. In add have straw chaff and one stone of hay per horse per day .

The ED been favoured with instructions from Lieut . - Col . S. Midgley , C.M.G. , D.S.O. ( who COUNSEL'S STORY OF PLAN TO EVADE silage the concentrate need not contain nearly has gone abroad ) , to Sell by Auction , without reserve , THE WHOLE of the Excellent HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE , on MONDAY , JANUARY 14th , 1918 . Silage may be fed to nearly all classes of stock - cattle , sheep and horses . It is especi- ally suited to dairy cattle and horned stock generally , but not more than 15lbs . per day should be given to stock bulls . Though good for cattle oat and tare silage is not a complete food ; it is too bulky , whether fed together with roots and hay or by itself , to satisfy entirely the requirements of dairy cows or fattening cattle , though it may be sufficient for dry cows or store stock . Cows in full milk will need some concentrated food in addition to silage and roots or hay though on account of the comparatively high percentage of protein in so large a proportion of this constituerit as if the cattle were fed on roots instead of silage . A wife's claim to £ 12,000 from her husband The quantity of silage that should be fed to occupied Mr. Justice Darling on Thursday . a cow depends upon her milk capacity .

MILK SUPPLIES AND GRASS PLOUGHING . The De- IMPORTANT OFFICIAL STATEMENT . Statements have recently been made ( in cer- tain newspapers ) that the shortage of milk at the present time is partly due to the reckless ploughing up of pastures " ordered by Agri- cultural Executive Committees at the instance of the Food Production Department . partment point out that this criticism is quite Not only is the land which is unfounded . being scheduled for breaking up chosen most carefully by experienced local agriculturists , with due regard to its capabilities for arable cultivation , but the conversion of the pasture into tillage is calculated to secure the milk supply rather than to interfere with it . A decreased area of grassland may reduce the supply of summer milk , but it is not during the summer months that difficulty is experi- enced in securing milk . The critical period for the consumer of milk is during the winter , when dairy farmers have been accustomed to rely largely upon phased foods for feeding The existing shortage of milk is their cows . chiefly due to the scarcity of concentrated feed- ing - stuffs ,, and this scarcity will not diminish as the war goes on . Under these conditions it will be necessary for dairy farmers to have re - course to home - grown foods for maintaining their milk supply during the winter months ; and the farmer who has a proportion of his land under tillage crops - such as cabbage , kale , turnips , mangolds and beans - will be much better off than the farmer who is entirely dependent upon hay and purchased feeding- stuffs . From the point of view of milk production , an acre of mangolds , for example , is worth three times as much as an acre of meadow hay . The ploughing up of grassland is not detri- mental to the milk consumer ; and , in view of the importance of securing a greatly increased area of corn and potatoes , the suggestion that the dairy farmer is unable to contribute to this effort without diminishing the supply of winter milk is quite wrong . On the contrary , because of the lack of feeding stuffs , the supply of winter milk cannot be maintained unless grass farmers plough up some of their pastures and grow winter foods for themselves .

Modern silos are constructed with tall air . In tight walls , generally circular in section . these very little surface is exposed to the air , and the necessary pressure is obtained heap by the weight of the material above . Such silos are often 30 to 35 feet in height and generally vary between 12 and 18 feet in diam- eter . wooden staves fitted and tongued together s They require to be carefully built of as to be air - tight , or of reinforced concrete ; but in view of the present difficulties in re- gard to supply and labour , it may be neces- sary to resort to stacks or excavations in the soil , as a means of ensiling crops . One of the fundamental conditions for mak- ing good silage is to prevent the access of the fermenting material , Production Department has made the necessary distribution work .. to learn . 14 VESSELS PUT DOWN .
